[AUTO] Generation Break 1 (This ability is active if you have one or more face up G units in total on your (VC) or G zone):When this unit is put into the drop zone from (RC) for the cost of your unit's ability, if you have a grade 3 or greater vanguard with "Claret Sword Dragon" in its card name, search your deck for up to one card named "Darkquartz Dragon", call it to (RC), and shuffle your deck. If you called a unit, Counter Charge (1).

One of Claret Sword's new cards. As his GB1 skill, if
one of your own card's skills retires him and the
Vanguard is Claret Sword, you Countercharge 1 and
superior call Darkquartz Dragon from the deck.

Simple no? Which sometimes is best. He 1:1's himself and
gives you another Counterblast, so that's already a good
point in its favour, considering Claret decks don't
really want to go TOO overboard with Davids for cheap
retiring owing to how it's done at the expense of
another card. It's 9k so columns don't suffer and if
combo'd right can make a column 21k, since Quartz
becomes a 10k booster on the turn it appears.

G Shadows became much more efficient with this. Grab
these. It's R, so it should be easy.

3/5

Sorry about yesterday, wasn't around much of the
weekend, so I missed getting Pir's review out. So,
Darkpride Dragon here, at GB1, if you have a Claret
Sword Dragon Vanguard and this is retired by one of your
skills, you get to search for Darkquartz Dragon and call
it to R and Counter-Charge 1.

Darkquartz Dragon, BTW, has a GB1 skill that, when
placed on R, gives your Vanguard +3000 power if you have
a Claret Sword Dragon vanguard.

Um, yeah, do I need to say it? If you run Claret
Sword Dragon, this is a staple.

Why does the Chaotic Evil version of Shadow Paladins get
the cool toys?

Hey, sorry for skipping last week,
but I know pretty much nothing about Touken Ranbu
anyway, so whatever. Today's card is Claret support,
Darkpride Dragon. When it's retired for a cost after GB1
and your VG name has Claret Sword in it, it searches for
Darkquartz dragon, which gains +3k when it's called
after GB1 and Claret is your VG. Oh, and it flips a
damage.

It's infringing on Tachikaze
mechanics for sure, but the card itself is very good. It
essentially makes Aurageyser Doomed retire 1, draw 2,
retire up to two along with David, making the generally
overcosted skill Doomed has. Being limited to Claret
obviously means it can't go in the most powerful SP deck
at the moment, Revengers, but it's a powerful card
nonetheless where it belongs. It would be better if the
G1 called the G2, because Claret superior calls a G1
anyway, but they did this for balance reasons I guess.

Staple in Claret, though I will say
that you won't need 4 Darkquartz due to it being able to
be tutored by this card.

Rating: 3.5/5

Art: 4/5 Nice and Edgy

Card Design: 3/5 Not a big fan of
taking Tachi's mechanic when SP already has one of the
most versatile possible skill sets of any clan.
